The C6 line is back in full production as of this morning and running all cars, including manual transmissions. The MN6 cars may be held for QC, but all else is back to normal. They should reach over VIN 5200 today. Information from Kevin Torrance at the plant.

They state that there are assembly line workers today, that it's business-as-usual, and there will be tours at 9am and 1pm today! She was aware of the problems yesterday but is not aware of any problems today. I am confirming this with other sources now, so hang in there!
From the NCM
(UPDATED: 5:30P CST 10/6/2004)
The R8C museum deliveries are not cancelled, but we have postponed the deliveries of the C6 Corvette 6-speed for next week until we hear more on the problem with the 6-speed transmissions.
We will deliver all of the automatics next week and any automatics in the future once the line starts up. The assembly line had something break and they sent workers home today and they will not report tomorrow.
Once the mechanical problem on the line itself is corrected, my understanding is they will continue to build automatics.
Any Corvettes with automatic transmissions that have been built will be delivered at the NCM once we can get them from Allied.
Latest: It appears the assembly line is going again. But, we are still gathering info from sources on the 6-speed trans issue and delivery delays. We have no information on whether they are making 6-speed cars today, or if cars in the lot need to be fixed. Hang in there a little bit.
